What do you to to take away the crappy stresses and irritations of everyday life? How do you deal with it? Do you even deal with it, or does it eat away at your insides?

I go drinking.

not in a bad way.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 11 December 2003 13:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Stroke my cat. Then go round friends' houses and bitch at them about whatever's pissing me off.

If there was one single answer to this I think the person possessing that knowledge would be rich!

take a 'deep bath'

i don't do the bath thing but i thought it might appeal to Barry

you may be onto something there Ronan! ;-)

I seem to have turned into Barry White rather than Lasagne.

Deep breathing actually works for me. As does clipclopping down the stairs at work pretending I'm on a horsey (true).

stop reading ILx.

Listening to music, drinking beer, reading books/magazines, talking to other humang beings, going outside and getting a spot of exercise... These things generally seem to work.

I've yet to try the clippy cloppy thing - do you have a serf to bang some coconuts together at the same time?

― robster (robster), Thursday, 11 December 2003 13:17 (twenty-one years ago)

It used to be that I'd post about it to ILX, but lately ILX seems to be exacerbating my stress, rather than diminishing it. I don't know if ILX is going through a more adversarial time (any time C**** and his ilk are on here a lot, my blood pressure starts to rise and it becomes less enjoyable for me. I wish this wasn't true, because I feel like that lets the assholes win, but unfortunately it *is* true.)

If I'm at home, I have a Lush bathbomb bath. Or give/receive a backrub from HSA. If I'm at work, I get up, walk away from the computer, either go to the loo for a bit and splash my face with water, or, if it's really bad, I go for a walk around the block and maybe get coffee.

Kate, I'm surprised that you let a one-trick-mong like Calum get to you. He's so obviously a loser, everyone knows it and no-one gives two hoots about him.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 11 December 2003 13:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Cal*m has an ilk??

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 11 December 2003 13:26 (twenty-one years ago)

i look at pictures of lighthouses

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 11 December 2003 13:27 (twenty-one years ago)

have you tried having sex in interesting places?

― Alex K (Alex K), Thursday, 11 December 2003 13:27 (twenty-one years ago)

He gets to me because he's particularly vicious and personal in his attacks against me.

Sure, the things that he "insults" me with are ludicrous because he obviously thinks there's so shameful while I'm just like "huh?" ("what's so shameful hearing your old man talk about buttsex? I've had buttsex!") But I can't pretend that it doesn't bother me that someone tries so hard, pathetic as it is, to try and wound me.

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Thursday, 11 December 2003 13:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Which goes back to stress. When I'm not stressed, I think it's hysterical. When I'm stressed, every little thing that normally doesn't bug me GETS ON MY NERVES AND MAKES ME WANT TO KILL!!!

Which is kind of a snowballing effect, innit?

Once I get rid of the big stress (i.e. the huge amount of pressure at my job right now) then the little stress won't bug me.

Which reminds me, shit, lunchtime over, back to the grind. Argh.

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Thursday, 11 December 2003 13:36 (twenty-one years ago)

i try to get a hug from someone.

― ken c, Thursday, 11 December 2003 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Kate, he's a fucking weirdo. Forget him. He's kind of like the wino yelling incoherently at you as you pass.

― Alex K (Alex K), Thursday, 11 December 2003 13:41 (twenty-one years ago)

If I'm feeling really stressed, I get upset by winos, too. I shouted at the Usual Neighbourhood Beggar earlier this week. Over the summer, I was storming around feeling/looking so shit that a guy panhandling next to the bank machine said "Cheer up, love, it's really not the end of the world!" which completely freaked me out so much that I ended up naming the Great Lost EBA Album after it.

Anyway, it's not important.

Lush bath bombs are U&K. I think I'm going to go for the purple one if and when I ever get home tonight.

For little retarded things I shouldn't be bothered about but am: the sweet cheeba.
The things I should be bothered about: I dwell.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Did I really type "dwell"? I meant "deal", but Freudian slip etc.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't releive it, I just seem to stay annoyed all the time.
